B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation of the Lesson

“Now class, what do you notice to Students: “Ma’am, they perform the conversation
our activity? with correct pronunciation.”

“Nice observation. What else?” Students: “Ma’am, they perform the activity with
appropriate emotion by saying “Hello” in many
ways.”
“Very good. Another one?”
“Ma’am, sometimes they are raising their voice
and sometimes they are so calm in saying every
word.”
“Very good observation. Do you
have any idea of what do we call to
the rising and lowering of voice?”
“None, Ma’am.”
“Since that you don’t know what do
we call to the rising and lowering of
voice, we will tackle it now today.”

2. Discussion of the Lesson

“Rising and lowering the voice are
common to a person when speaking
and this is what we called
Intonation. And for more
understanding, will you please read
the definition on the ppt?
“Intonation means the rising and lowering of the
voice when speaking. the sound changes produced
by the rise and fall of the voice when speaking,
especially when this has an effect on the meaning
of what is said.
“Thank you. A while ago you said
that sometimes your classmate was
raising their voice and sometimes,
they are calm when they are
speaking. Do you have any idea of
what do we call to the rising of
voice?”
Student: “Ma’am highering of voice.”
“Nice try. Another one?”

Student: “Ma’am, rising intonation.”

“Very good. When we are raising
our voice, we called it Rising
Intonation. For more
understanding, will you please read
the meaning on the ppt?

Student: “Rising Intonation means the pitch of

the voice rises over time. We use rising intonation
with:
 Yes/no questions
 Offers
 Enumerations
We tend to use this rising intonation
pattern when we’re asking
questions. So, the pitch of our voice
tends to go up. When you hear
rising intonation, it indicates that
the speaker is waiting for a reply
just like in this example.

*Will you please read?” Student: ‘When does the meeting start?

Thank you. ‘...start?’ rises up, it

comes up in the voice

*Can someone please read number

2? Student: ’Would you like a cup of tea?

Thank you '...tea?' rises up

“What do you notice to the sentence “Ma’am when I read it, my voice was raised at the
when you read it?” end of the sentence.”

“That’s right. Can you give me Student: “Mark won the Poetry Contest!”
another sentence with rising
intonation?”
“Very good. What else?”
Student: “He got $1000 in cash!”

“Excellent. Another one?”

Student: “Really? That’s wonderful!”
“Nice answer. What else?”

Student: “That’s great!”

“Very good.

“Based on the sentence, where do Student: “Ma’am I think when we are asking
you usually found rising
 intonation?” question.”

“What specific type of question?”

Student: “Ma’am when the question is answerable
by yes or no.”

“That’s right. What else?”

“In the situation where someone is expressing
doubt or surprise.”

“Very good

“Okay. Now, when the voice is

lowering, what do you call to that?” Student: “Ma’am, lowering intonation.”

Another?
Student: “Ma’am, falling intonation.”

“Very good. When the voice is in

the normal tone that is what we
called falling intonation. For more
understanding, will you please read
the definition on the ppt?

Student: “Falling Intonation means that the pitch

falls with time.” We use falling intonation with:
 Statements
 WH-questions
 Commands
 Exclamations
 Alternative questions
“Thank you. Like what I have said
earlier, falling intonation can heard
if the word pronounced in a normal
voice. Falling intonation indicates
calmness and lack of strong feeling.
For example, will you please read?”

“What do you notice on the way ‘Go over there’

you read the sentence?”

“Ma’am when I read the sentence, I am just calm.

“That’s right. Will you find another
example in this dialogue?”
*Student will give another dialogue example*
“Very good. Another one.”

“Nice answer.” *Student will give another dialogue example*

“Remember class, Intonation is the
rising and lowering of the voice
when speaking. Rising Intonation
when the voice is rising but when it
became calm and in normal voice, it
called Falling Intonation. Do you
understand?”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
3. Generalization
“Okay. Let us now test your
 understanding about our topic.
What is the Intonation?”

Student: “Intonation means the rising and

lowering of the voice when speaking. the sound
changes produced by the rise and fall of the voice
when speaking, especially when this has an effect
on the meaning of what is said.
“Very good. What is Rising
Intonation?”
Student: “Rising Intonation means the pitch of the
voice rises over time. We use rising intonation
with:
• Yes/no questions
• Offers
• Enumerations
“Very good answer. How about the
falling intonation?”
Student: “Falling Intonation means that the pitch
falls with time.” We use falling intonation with:
• Statements
• WH-questions
• Commands
• Exclamations
“Very good. What did falling • Alternative questions
intonation indicates?”

“Falling Intonation indicates calmness and normal

voice when speak.”
“Excellent. Now that you are
mastered our topic, let us proceed to
our activity.”

Valuing Integration
“But before that, I have a question
to you. Did you experience talking
to an elder in person or even in
telephone?”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
“What do you feel?”

“That’s right. What if you “Ma’am, I need to be calmer and lower my

encounter an elder which is so voice.”
annoying and you need to talk to
him/her?”
“Ma’am, I think I need to have a calm voice even
if he/she is so annoying.”

“Very good. What if they shout to

you even if you do not do anything
wrong?”
“Ma’am, I will not talk while he/she speaking
because it shows disrespect and I know that we
can solve the problem if I will wait until he/she
done talking.”
“Very good. Based on your answer,
what values did you show?”
“Ma’am we show respect to the one who is older
to us.”
“That’s right. Why do we need to
 respect them?”
“Because they are older to us.”

“Very nice answer. “Because they know what is best for us even if
sometimes they are annoying. And also they are
the one who teach us to respect elders.”

“Excellent. We need to respect

elders because they know what is
best for us. They already know how
world runs. Moreover, they are just
annoying because like what we said
they are elders. They want to do
something but they could not do it
because they are weak and difficult
to do it. Do you understand?” “Yes, Ma’am.”

“Very good.”
